The French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu He has presented his resignation on Monday to the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macronafter less than a month in office and after appointing their new ministers the night before.
Far from rupture promises, Lecornu had opted after weeks of consultations with the rest of political formations for conservative continuism. Almost all faces were the same as in the evil team François Bayrou.
The last victim of the “political butcher shop” —As comments more than a French analyst— He has declared in his public appearance that he tried to dialogue with the unions and employers to seek solutions. But, he has sentenced, “One cannot be prime minister when the conditions are not given to be”and has accused the rest of political groups of having the head to advance the presidential elections and not in the formation of a functional government.

“You always have to prioritize the country over the party,” he said, in a message that can be directed in all directions. “You have to know how to listen to supporters, but always think about the French people.”
The leader of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faurehas praised its resolution. “He has just resigned with dignity and honor,” and something else: “I wondered if there was still a gaullist in this country. There was.”
Lecornu, who entered politics seduced by Nicolas Sarkozysee how their teacher’s party, the Republicans, preferred the fall of this brief government rather than being part of it. Now Macron has a serious dilemma on the table. He has just lost his fifth prime minister in two years and can try with a sixth.
But with the popularity for the soil and the rope around the neck, his political rivals ask for something else: that resigns – the only president who did it before was Gaulle– And call elections.
“To those who still believe we could govern without the left, I say: they are wrong,” said the Minister of Ecological Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runnacherdefender of forming a government team with whom they won the parliamentary elections. “We cannot advance without sending forceful signals, without connecting with those who, despite our differences, share the same demand: serve France and the French people.”
“Macron is dying and condemning the country to a regime crisis,” the deputy reacted Clémentine Autainof the Popular Front. “I call the left and the environmentalists to reaffirm together our will to govern. And so that we prepare together in the face of any possibility of early choices.”
The mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard (Of the Republicans), he has tweeted that “the interest of France demands that Emmanuel Macron program his resignation, to preserve institutions and unlock a situation that is inevitable since the absurd dissolution.”
“After the resignation of Lecornu, we ask that the motion presented by 104 deputies for the dismissal of Emmanuel Macron,” the leader of the insums reacted, has reacted, has reacted the leader of the insums, reacted, Jean-Luc Mélenchonmain leader of the radical left.
The great adversaries of macronism, the radical right of Marine Le Pen.
In a television interview, the president of the National Group, Jordan Bardellahe said that “the ephemeral prime minister had no room for maneuver.” “Without a doubt, it was Macron who formed this government,” and has assured that the president “does not understand the situation we are in.”
The head of the movement has been more blunt. “We are at the end of the road, there is no solution and there will be no morning,” added Le Pen. That and that “the farce has lasted too much”, and that “the only sensible decision in these circumstances is to return to the polls and that the French give a course to the country.”
French politics has become even more unstable since the decision of the President of the Republic to convene early parliamentary elections last year. The Parliament that was born made it even more fragmented and without simple majorities. He laid the foundations for an ungovernable France.
